THE PERFECT BREEZY BEACH DAY PLAYLIST

The perfect beach day doesn’t exis—

Actually it does, and we have the formula (and the playlist) to get you in that sun-sand-and-sea state of mind. Here’s our foolproof way to have the best beach day ever:

1. Leave your house early. This might sound like a buzzkill, but trust us—you’ll beat the crowds and traffic, secure a parking spot before the lot fills up, and get your pick of plots on the sand. Sounds like a win-win-win to us.
2. Get an iced coffee on the way. Beach day season = iced coffee season. While some of us (ahem, me) think iced coffee season lasts all year, others wait for warm-weather days. Now’s your time to sip some ice cold caffeine by the sea.
3. Bring a book! This is simply a must. Summer reading is a great way to mindfully unwind, even if you only read a page or two.
4. Pack snacks. Since nobody ever said “we have too many snacks,” go ahead and bring some sammies, chips, and something sweet to keep you nourished while you soak up the sun.
5. Slather on the sunscreen. We’d be remiss not to include this one—sun safety first! Or in this case, fifth.
6. Turn up the tunes. While we love the sounds of the seagulls and waves, we made a Breezy Beach Day playlist just for you. Crank up the volume and let the cares of the day wash away…
